I think this is a bad idea. All airlines know how we in the military log our time. If they don't tell you to add a conversion, don't add it... they probably do it on their own. And then you would have a double conversion, and have to explain why you can't follow directions, etc.

I interviewed with Delta, SWA, and AirTran last fall. I'm a fighter dude but here is what I and the heavy bro's I interviewed with did:

Solo time in SUPT (T-37 or T-38) is PIC, all IP or EP time is PIC, all time in the left seat for you is PIC (except that time you were flying a checkride with an EP on board, or flying an upgrade sortie with an IP on board, for example, my time at T-38 PIT was not PIC because I had an IP of record in my front seat every sortie, I also did not include my 8 hours of MQT as PIC because I had an IP onboard who was the IP of record, all of my F-16 time was PIC except when I had on IP onboard during some of the sorties at Luke). I did not bring a logbook of military time only brought the AFORMS Flying History Report and all of my Form 8 checkrides (only Delta wanted to see the Form 8's). I also brought my civilian logbook with my pre-AF cessna time. The interviewers flipped through it for about 10 seconds.

Like the other folks have typed, just be able to logically explain why any time you claim as PIC is truly PIC. I did not have anyone at any of the 3 airlines question my times at all.

Good Luck!

Exactly right! DO NOT ADD TAXI TIME OR ANY FAKE TIME. SWA, FedEx, etc., advertise a military conversion additive. If the airline you are applying to does not advertise an additive, do not add one yourself!
